About Unix Timestamps

What is a Unix Timestamp?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC). It's a simple way to represent time as a single number.

Formats

  • Seconds: 10 digits (e.g., 1704067200)
  • Milliseconds: 13 digits (e.g., 1704067200000)
  • ISO 8601: 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z

Common Uses

  • ✅ Database date storage
  • ✅ API timestamps
  • ✅ Log file timestamps
  • ✅ Session expiration
  • ✅ File modification times
  • ✅ Event scheduling

Tip: Most programming languages work with Unix timestamps in seconds, but JavaScript uses milliseconds.
